Have gone down this 'old antique road in heart of downtown St. Augustine on many occasions since the early 1970's, enjoying each one, seeing something new almost every time, going through the antique stores and it is not hard to imagine this has been here for hundreds of years. Describe? Unique. Historical. Antique Shopping. Art stores. Take a leisurely stroll down one one of the oldest 'shopping strips' in the country- a walk down a piece of history- take at least one hour ... and I will bet you will stop by again during another visit to St. Augustine.
Visited the old town about 25 years ago and loved the old buildings, artists painting in the streets and the general ambiance. This time found it overrun with stores and so-called museums. Very disappointed.
The old city is beautiful and a great place to roam and shop. Safe for everyone. All the staff at various shops were very healpful and nice.
The old city is a great place to visit. They have wonderful little shops and the most fabulous restaurants.
we had our bikes and enjoyed riding around the area slowly on the quiet streets. We purposely sought out the less travelled streets and enjoyed seeing the beautiful restored homes. Very much like the French Quarter in New Orleans. Loved the walking /shopping area also.
When we went it was real cold for Florida standard but that did not stop us. The place is beautiful,bars,shops and resturants. Will go back real soon.
Ambling through the quaint streets of the Old City feels much like experiencing the best of New Orleans or Charleston. The architecture, small museums, homes, and shops provide a charming ambiance. The entire area is peppered with great places to eat. Clean public restrooms are plentiful. Parking is $6 for the 4 hours you will need to scratch the surface and have a meal. Or use the trolley. Eager to return.
The Old City of St. Augustine is like going back in time. We reveled in the old architecture and the history that goes with it. Some of the shops were unique and fun to see. We thoroughly enjoyed this entire experience.
Touring the Old City by these trains is a wonderful way to begin your sightseeing of this historic city. Our 90 minute trip with a most enjoyable driver/narrator who gave us the verbal description of the historic buildings and areas we were seeing.
take a walk do some shopping get some great eats listen to some really good music all the while looking at the architecture
